General Information about Kenya Samosa Appetizers

It generally consists of a fried or baked triangular-, half-moon-, or tetrahedron-shaped pastry shell with a savory filling of spiced potatoes, onion, peas, coriander, lentils, or sometimes fresh paneer. Non-vegetarian samosas may substitute fillings of minced meat or fish.

The size and shape of a samosa as well as the consistency of the pastry used can vary considerably, although it is mostly triangular. They are often served with imli chutney or curd.

Directions to make Kenya Samosa Appetizers

Mix the filling ingredients except the butter, lemon juice and chopped herbs and fry in the butter until just cooked through.

Sprinkle on approx. 2 tbsp of water and increase the heat until the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and herbs. Stir well and leave to cool. Cut the egg roll wrappers into 1 ¾ inch strips.

To prepare the samosas using egg roll wrapper strips, turn one end over to make a triangular shaped pocket, then turn again in the opposite direction.

Fill the cavity with a spoonful of the cooked filling and continue folding until the whole strip has been used and a triangular shaped pastry results.

Seal the end with water or a paste made from flour and water. Heat oil for deep frying to fairly hot and fry the samosas, several at a time, until golden and crisp. Serve hot with fresh mint chutney.
